Colorectal cancer is a modern day concern partly due to the lack of fiber and nutrition in our diets. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kefir and its amazing live cultures actually helps to prevent colorectal cancer, and more according to recent peer reviewed published scientific studies! WOW!&lt;br /&gt;

These grains help culture the milk into a fanstastic healthy drink that is even better than live yogurt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kefir grains will continue to grow and get bigger and multiply, so you will eventually have to either give them away, put them into a gigantic jar, or divide them. Many people sell them also. I personally prefer to keep the tradition of the person who gave them to me and give them away. Yes, it does have a minor cost involved (small containers for transport and a small amount of milk), but to me, the reward for doing it is better than the monetary reward that might come along.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am selling kefir though, and if anyone in Kuwait wants some it is 2 kd for a liter of kefir. The kefir that I make is delicious, light and ever so slightly tangy, so you won&#39;t be disappointed.&lt;br /&gt;

Many people claim that it was given to the Prophet Mohamed of the Islamic faith by God (Allah), but there isn&#39;t any concrete evidence of this. So, where kefir really came from is going to be anyone&#39;s guess until further information is discovered. There are sites out there that claim that kefir can be made from putting milk in a leather container with some other ingredients and after shaking it for a while it will grow kefir grains. I will try that some day, but in the meantime, I will be happy that I have my kefir grains that were passed down to me from a friend, and I hope that others will be happy that I am continuing the tradition by passing down my extra kefir grains to others too. I&#39;m thinking of selling my kefir soon, because it&#39;s getting to the point where we have more than we can drink. So, if you&#39;re interested in getting fresh kefir in Kuwait, you can contact me here at the blog.&lt;br /&gt;

People even pronounce the word differently! Some people say &quot;keefer&quot; and some people say &quot;kafeer&quot;, and others call it even other names!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Frankly, I have the same questions myself. I know what it looks like, because I have it growing and culturing in my kitchen, but I can only give you a ballpark idea of what it really is. And, apparently, I&#39;m not alone!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fact is that there is a lot of mystery behind what kefir is, where it came from, and what it does. Here, we are going to explore together the history, science, and more of kefir.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, let&#39;s start together on our kefir discovery journey!&lt;br /&gt;
